Psalms 45:12 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The daughter of Tyre shall be there That is, the people of Tyre; as the daughter of Zion or Jerusalem, is put for their inhabitants: he mentions the Tyrians, because they, among others, and before many others, were to be converted to Christ, Matthew 11:21; Mark 3:8; Mark 7:24; Acts 21:3-5; but they are here put for all the Gentiles, whom that city fitly represented as being the mart of the nations, as she is called Isaiah 23:3. With a gift To testify their homage, which was done by gifts or presents; and to procure thine and thy Lord's favour. Even the rich Of other nations.
